All I have been reading but not finding what is happening to me yet. I have been fighting the same problem for months now.

The t-4 will flat out go at times then it will loose power down to 500 rpms or so for 5-15 seconds then you hear it regain the rpms and off I go again.

I have completely cleaned the gas tank, repositioned the filter changed the filter numerous times. Added the a higher pressure Bosch pump.

I thought it was a dirty tank with debris getting in the way since when I took my foot off the gas it would recover in a few seconds 5-15.

I read the post about the IAC but most of them were about over revs. I thought maybe it was the computer protecting itself, if too high of revs.

I'm too the point just just throw this engine out and put a VW in it.

Rev limiting kicks in when you reach as specifit rpm and then turns off when the engine gets to an rpm maybe 100-200 rpms lower. It's mmore of a bap, bap, bap, on and off and not a 5-15 second delay. I would run a fuel pressure gauge directly from the fuel rail input and put it where you can see it when this happens. it the fuel pressure stays ok then it's not a fuel problem. Could be something might be heating up and loosing connection. Could be in the computer.

I HATE problems like this.

This sounds like a computer or fuel injection problem.

Check:

Does this happen only when hot?

Does it sound like its being bogged down from excessive fuel, or is it being starved?

What's the fuel pressure read when this is happening? You might want to relocate your fuel pressure guage. (I've thought of it myself, cus it would look so darn cool to have it where I can ACTUALLY SEE IT)

Check your plugs immediately after the event. What is their color? I'd check both oxygen sensors. Perhaps one is sending the wrong signal intermitantly...are the O.S. cables ok?

Check your comp. Jeese, after reading a thread on water entering the ECM, you never know.

I'll probably dream up a few more useless questions tonight.

Thanks to all so far. I hope to get time this weekend to dig in with the mechanic

I will relocate fuel gauge if possible, I believe it is dropping but unsure because it sounds starved of gas. New Bosch pump put in a few months ago, could be an intermittent bad pump.

It is has happened both hot and cold, but moe when hot.

I will keep this thread updated until the problem is fixed or I put in VW motor.

I will also IAC valve and the computer for moisture.

Will also see if someone has the equipment to read the fault codes.

If the fuel pressure drops, the fix is pretty simple. Hope the fuel pressure drops. Check all your plugs too.

One more question. Does it sound like a cyl or two is getting cut out, or is it some weird knocKing sound, or is it just like you throttled down? If it's a comp or CPS sensor issue, your plugs will likely tell you.

Crank position sensor. If your CPS is bad or CPS wires are shorting, you'll have the ECM confused.

FYI, I'm speaking from motorcycle experience. I've just gotten my Joyner, so I have next to nothing on it. However, it does have electronic ignition, so it may suffer many or most of the same issues I've faced before.

If you need a CPS, you'll have to get one from Casey or Silverbullet. I managed to find one the would fit up, not easy to do, but the computer wouldn't read it. Had to get one from Silverbullet for it to work. It's not the IAC. I have my fuel gauge comming up in between the seats behind the parking brake handle. If something is acting funny, I can quickly glance at it and see if it's the fuel system or eliminate it as the problem. I find it really nice to be able to monitor it at will.

Not sure if you came across this topic http://www.utvboard.com/topic/1423-power-loss/page__hl__%2Bloss+%2Bof+%2Bpower__fromsearch__1 but it sounds like the problems you are having is very close to the same as what i was having. I checked everthing and like you pulled the tank a couple times as well as new fuel filter,air filter fuel lines regulator, checked all wire connections and finally replaced the computer and have not had the issue since.Too bad your not close to someone with a trooper to switch them out just to see if that is it.

I've recently was given a Trooper ECM to sell. Was getting ready to put it on Ebay. Asking $350.00. This came out of a running Trooper and to reconfirm it being good I tested it on Kinarfis Trooper when we were at Coral Pink Sand Dunes. The computer is good. I don't like to ship stuff back and forth like computers so if it doesn't solve your problem it will be up to you to resale it to get your money back out of it. Let me know if your interested and I won't put it on Ebay.

You're about 3 hours too late. Already opened, cleaned, and resealed. Fortunately, I found no sings of water penetration, and everything was properly tidy

Lenny I will take it. Dumb question same computer for the T-4. I understand once I buy it's mine if I don't need it. I'll probably hold on to it or put it on eBay.

I'll send you a PM and yes the T2 and T4 computers are the same.

Lenny got the computer. Just back from 3 days at the Baja 500. Will try to get the computer changed soon but weather is getting hot already to spend too much time testing.

      2016 Hisun 500 runs rough no power
      By CapnWalleye
      Just picked up a Hisun 500 that had shift issues (corroded fan gear) which I fixed. It also didn't seem to be running smoothly then all of a sudden it got worse. It seems to miss on both idle and when pushing the gas pedal to the floor and doesn't seem to be running at full power. I've been working with a local person who is walking me through some steps, but I'd like some input from this group as well. What I've done:
      - drained the fuel tank and replaced it with 93 octane fuel and added heet to help with any water problems.
      - replaced the fuel injector.
      - disconnected the battery (several times) to allow the module to reset.
      - set the valve clearance, both intake and exhaust, within specs ... intake was tight but exhaust seemed fine.
      - replaced the battery.
      - replaced the O2 sensor.
      Nothing has helped. Not sure what the next steps are, but would appreciate any expertise that can be offered here.

      2015 MSU-500 crank - no start
      By Prepper
      I'm working with a 2015 MSU-500.  Basic symptoms are it cranks well, but will not fire.  It has spark, and it has fuel spraying out of the injector (and spraying starting fluid into the throttle body and plug hole makes no difference).  It has compression.  I bought it not running, and no other information was available.  It has 775 miles on it and 127 hours.  It looks to be in very good shape.   Previous owner replaced fuel pump, ECU, coil, plug, and the fuse/relay box that mounts on the firewall, then gave up.
      My questions relate to cam/valve timing, considering the symptoms and diagnostics so far.  My thinking was the woodruff key sheared off and the crank spun, making it out of time.  My question is, by the pictures attached does anyone have an opinion as to the cam/valve timing being correct?  In the crankshaft picture you can see a timing mark visible.  In the camshaft picture I have arrows directed towards what I think are timing marks (which appear to be exactly 180 degrees from one another).  However, the long arrow in what appears to be bolt configuration in line with the piston/rod line.  Here is a puzzling note... in the position you see in the pictures... I have valve lash on both the intake and exhaust.  I think it's at TDC, given the visible crank timing mark and valve lash on both valves. 
      Any thoughts ?  Does this appear to be in proper valve time ?  Have I missed anything simple ?  Thanks in advance for your input.

      My wife accidentally ran the Axis 500 into a fence and tore the front end up (broke her arm too). Just wondering where the best place to get front end parts? I know she busted the knuckle but haven’t jacked it up yet. Thanks guys for any help!

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 eps. Power steering not working
      By A P
      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.
